I think its ok for starters. I'd try to gather up some links, of all the places you like, and share them. Thats what I did, but now getting quite a few, and time to kinda redue what I've done. I'm very new at it aswell.Keep going!!

Until I saw the Title and the tiny "Tommy's Tavern LLC" text at the bottom of the page, I had no idea what type of establishment (or even if it was a real establishment) the page was about.

You should concentrate on presenting your information in a way that helps the reader understand why they are on the page, what it's about, and then leads them through what it is that your presenting.

I would expect to see the name of the establishment displayed prominently. Next I want to know it's location. Then I want to know why it pertains to me and what about it would hold my interest.

Your call to action: "Attention: Musicians, blah blah blah..." is good. Cheap booze is a good incentive, but I'd like to know other factors as to why I would want to host my event at Tommy's, such as how many people it holds, are there games, is there a stage and a dance floor, etc.

Some photos of the place would be nice.

You're color scheme works, however, the background you've chosen makes the text somewhat hard to read. Consider putting the text onto a different colored (preferrably a solid color) background (maybe black?) and use the stars background just in empty areas.

Place a <BR> just before New site with photos & links coming soon. or just after Check this site often for news & updates.

When using anything inside a <P> paragraph tag, such as <p align="center">, the browser also need to find the closing </P> tag in order to know when that condition ends.

Place an extra space after each period, close quotation mark, question mark or exclaimation point. I use the chr#160 but most people use the & nbsp ; codeword (remove the spaces in it when using it within HTML code).

Change the wording or WIDTH=%% when you have paragraphs that end with a sentence containing only one or two words. Try to have at least three words or a sentence at least 1/4 the length of the others in that last line.

You might try making the top of the page a table with 5 column cells:

left cell - half sized pooltable image

2nd cell - spacing WIDTH=9%

middle cell - what at the top, now

4th cell - dupe of 2nd spacing WIDTH=9%

right cell - half sized beerman image

<CENTER> the <TABLE ...>, of course, but play with the empty 2nd and 4th cell WIDTH= to maximize the separation of those half sized images. It's all a matter of taste and style, but I think that would "immediately" send a message about what the web page is about without having the user scroll down to see the full-sized, animated versions of those images.

Keep in mind that many people may never scroll beyond what displays at the top of the page - it should be the grabber that gets their attention but isn't so cluttered that it confuses them.
